About Louis Gribaudo
Louis is a Philadelphia, PA based artist and musician. In 1978 he was awarded a full scholarship to The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where he studied figure drawing with Marshall Glasier. In 1990, he made the decision to concentrate solely on painting watercolor landscapes and did so until 2006. Through that sixteen year period, his paintings became more abstract and these ideas set the precedent for his current work. In 1994, at the Wayne Art Center, he won the Myrtle Jarvis Watercolor Award for his large watercolor of Sylvester’s Cove, Maine, and in 2007, at The Main Line Center for the Arts, he received the Canson Paper Prize for the mixed media work entitled “Memories of 54”. In 2016 he had a solo show at The Philadelphia Sporting Club. Recently his paintings have been included in the group shows at the DVAA Gallery, Hindsight, Light, Subjective Perspective, Perennial Visions, Through the Grid, Collective Awareness, In July 2021, his work was picked for the curated show; Up Against a Wall at the Awbury Arboretum. Also in the summer of 2021, he participated in a two person show with Joellyn Ross at Atria. In 2022 he was in the two person exhibit; “Caligiuri and Gribaudo” at the Design Cener East Market, Philadelphia, PA., and recently, he was featured at a juried show at Culture Works, where he will have two paintings included in the upcoming summer show entitled: “Sound and Vision” His paintings and commissions are included in many private collections; 2 of his paintings were purchased by the The Capital One Cafe in King of Prussia, PA., and Saatchiart has made large prints of his work for hotels and Senior Living Facilities.
